KICKING IDEA! 11-18 year old game team members

No_Remorse · 2001-06-24T04:10:26

Hi everyone, I''m trying to put together a team consisting of programmers, artists, musicians and designers aged 11-18. The point is to gain as much experience in as many genres of games as possible, so when we get older, we may be able to get jobs in the industry. Some may claim I''m ripping off ads12 and maneesh, but I''m not. As ads12 never showed up again, and maneesh tryed to rip my team, I''m posting this call for team members. There''ll be no pay, but a load of experience, fun and new friends. And, the more the merrier, as many hands make light work. There will be 3 projects underway at any one time, and will something like this: The team will be split into three sections: -- Advanced Team - This will consist of the senior members, and advanced level people in the team. They will be working on the tougher project such as a RTS and RPG. Advanced Team Members will take turns helping the Intermediates and Beginners. This section of the team will be like the best of the best, and needs the best, so hop to it! -- Intermediate Team - This will consist of the members who have advanced past Pong, Tetris and Asteroids, and are ready for new challanges, but aren''t up to the Advanced Stage. They will have a project of their own, maybe a small adventure game or something. The Advanced Team will help out the Intermediate Team when they need it, and there will ALWAYS be at LEAST 1 Advanced Team Member on hand to give advice and show the Intermediates how to do things. -- Beginners Team - This will consist of first-timers and people who get stuck easily where they try to make their first few games. They will have a project like a Pac-Man, Tetris or Space Invaders clone. At the moment we have three members, and we need people to fill these postitions. -- Artists - 2D and 3D artists are needed. Hopefully you''ll develop your skills as time progresses, and will learn new programs to hone your artistic skills. You must know at least one art program, and -- Programmers - Must know at least one language. Experience is a REAL PLUS! If you know more than one language, its a plus again. -- Musicians - Must know how to port sound effects and music to the computer, and must know at least one instrument. -- Designers - Must know how to create design documents, but if not, you will be shown how. Experience is a plus, and you''ll get plenty more as time goes on. -- Webmasters - Must have made at least one page previously, and must know how to use a page-editor such as PageMill or CoolPage. HTML knowledge is a real plus, and experience is good too. Our team is not named as of yet, but we''ll have a name soon! Send all inquiries and applications to: no_remorse_uk@yahoo.com Send an application with a sample of work or proof of work. Include a bit about yourself, like name, age etc. Also say what group you think you would be best for, and why. Once we have evaluated you, you will be assigned to a group, depending on your skill. Positions are open for Advanced Team Leader and Beginner Team Leader, and each team will need one/two webmasters. There are many places to be filled, so get typing! I''m not good enough to fill the boots of the Advanced Team Leader, but I am the Intermediate Team Leader, and Co-Founder. This idea promises to rock, so hit me back!

I'm 15 and I could do anything. I could make cg sequences, webpages, design, 3d models, 2d graphics, 3d/2d programming. I consider myself an Elite (between Advanced and Intermediate on your scale). Here is my companies website, its made up of a couple of friends and me.

I''d like to join your team. I''m kind of a beginner programmer, at least for C++. I have some VB and Basic experiance, although that was not in games and was a couple years ago. I guess I could be considered an intermidiate web designer, I mostly use Dreamweaver, but I can also use Frontpage and good ole Notepad. I have a little bit of experiance in java script and DHTML, although that was a while back and I might have look back at some tutorials to get back to it. I''m also interested in game design.

17+ pfft, Im 15 and I''ve made quite alot of money doing corporate websites in Flash/Dreamweaver. My Knowledge of Perl-CGI didn''t hurt either

. Actually my Mom acted as a "front" sounds sorta gay but it worked, she went to the meetings with a tape recorder and brought the info back to me. It was for a fortuane 500 company too, and they are the world leade rin making soap

. Needless to say, I plan on having a nice car on my 16th birthday.

And please don''t call it football call it "soccer".

Or as they say in espanol "El futbol aspira pene!"

Dont post here to put down an idea man. If you dont like the idea, then dont join up with it, but dont come in here like a ravin lunatic and put down his idea.

Personally, I think its a damn good idea, just as long as he sees it through, it would be awesome.

Well hi everybody!
OHMYGOSH! I''ve had upwards of 20 emails about joining the team! This idea is generating a huge amount of interest and publicity.
Hey Desert-Storm, can we chat sometime about the forum? I''ll email you. We''ll have to organise it a tad, but it''s good for starters. Forums need moderators. The moderators should be the team leaders, co-founders and yourself, as you made it. Can you take it down for the time being, though? Thanks. I am trying to email you as quickly as possible, but it''s quite difficult getting you all emails! Wow, I never expected such a great response. Thanks for everybody''s constructive comments, and keep emailing! You can still apply for all of those positions. I have begun a ''Learners Team'' Section. Similar to the Beginners, it is headed by a group of Advanced Team Members who will be willing to teach youngsters and new learners the tools of the trade.
Game designs for the Advanced and Intermediate Teams are already underway, and web design will begin presently.

Hi again everyone!
We have over 10 members so far, and over 5 others who are in the process of joining our team. But we have few artists and musicians! Artists are very important to making a game look right, and increase it''s playability. Musicians add depth and atmosphere, we need these! This is a call to all ARTISTS and MUSICIANS!!!
--
Artists - 2D and 3D artists are needed. Hopefully you''ll develop your skills as time progresses, and will learn new programs to hone your artistic skills. You must know at least one art program.
--
Musicians - Must know how to port sound effects and music to the computer, and must know at least one instrument.

Please reply! This train is bound for glory!

A question, No Remorse, did a guy named Dan email you? His story was something about an RTS where only tyhe humans are left, stuff is extinct, etc....I''m wondering because he is a good friend of mine, and he applied for designer as well. Did he make it or what? =)
